Event Description
Every year since 1997, G7 Events has kicked off the Maltese summer season with its First of May Special at Café del Mar Malta. The 2026 edition went a step further: for this open-air day-to-night evening overlooking the Mediterranean, the line-up featured Oliver Heldens.
Originally from Rotterdam, Oliver Heldens is one of the most influential artists on the global electronic music scene. Discovered at 17 by Tiësto with a demo sent from his bedroom, he exploded onto the scene in 2014 with Gecko (Overdrive) — number 1 in the UK, triple platinum, praised by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. Since then, the hits have kept coming: Turn Me On , Fire in My Soul , Shades of Grey , collaborations with Nile Rodgers, Kylie Minogue, David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, and remixes for Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris, Coldplay and Depeche Mode.
The figures for 2026 speak for themselves: over 4 billion streams , residencies at Ushuaïa Ibiza and Omnia Las Vegas, headline appearances at Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Ultra Music Festival Miami, the Indianapolis 500, the Dutch F1 Grand Prix, and a sold-out show at the O2 Academy Brixton in London. He performs for over 2 million people worldwide each year. He also manages his own labels — Heldeep Records, OH2, and HILOMATIK.
